We are beyond grateful to Paola for turning our wedding dreams into a reality. From the moment we started talking to her we felt the connection right away she was able to quickly align with us on our vision and always assured us throughout the process that everything will turn out the way we want and not to worry. Having her made a huge difference and reduced the pressure of having everything done on time. She has a lot of experience and can navigate easiely through so many details in a short period of time. She was always available weather through email or setting up calls at our convenience. On the day of the wedding she was there through every step and made things so easy for us. Her team is also amazing and very professional. We could not recommend her enough as she deeply cares about her work and the finally outcome. We highly recommend her and her time! -

Paola and Sandra did an incredible job helping plan our wedding. I got married a couple weeks ago at Terranea hotel and it was the best day of my life. We found the Say I Do to Details team online and I was highly impressed by their good reviews. Their planning exceeded my expectations.
From being always available, to providing suggestions and insight into timeline, and coordinating everything so well the day of, their team is simply the best. I admire their passion for planning and it was so incredible working with them.
I worked with Paola and Sandra directly and Sandra was there day of. Paola and Sandra are very experienced, professional, and kind. Both were actively involved in the planning process. I’m extremely type A and it’s hard for me to trust people to take over (especially when I knew it was one of the most important days in my life) and take on tasks, but I trusted them 100%.
To start off, they have a lot of experience working at Terannea, which made things a lot easier for us and helped things run smoothly. Moreover, the vendors I selected knew of Paola and Sandra and their team and I admired their good reputation in the wedding industry.
Knowing what I know now, it would have been easier for me to have hired them as full on planning instead of day of coordination just because they’re so good at what they do that I really trust every decision they make.
I keep getting comments from my family and friends that the wedding was one of the best they’ve been to. Moreover I’ve received many comments specifically from my bridal party and close family about the incredible planning team keeping the day so smooth and on track.
There’s a trend on social media about “wedding regrets” and my husband and I keep saying to eachother thankfully that we have zero regrets. Every vendor was amazing and the planning team really went above and beyond what was asked of them and for that I’m forever grateful.
I appreciate that the team asked us what 3 things were important to us on our day.
1. our guests have an amazing time
2. the timeline runs smoothly
3. to have fun
That’s exactly what happened! I am grateful that I was not stressed the day of and we are so happy we found Sandra and Paola as they helped turn my dream wedding into a reality.
The wedding went even better than I could have imagined and I can say without a doubt that it would not have gone so perfectly without Sandra and Paola with Say I Do to Details.
I will 100% contact them to help plan any party I have in the future.
Choose them for your planning team- you won’t regret it! -

Sandra and the Say I Do To Details team were absolutely amazing!! With just over a month until the wedding date, they brought the entire day together. A month out and no photographer, videographer, tables, silverware, layout, and the day turned out absolutely perfect. I can say with great confidence that if we had not found the Say I Do To Details team, we most likely would have had to postpone the wedding date.
Thanks to Sandra and her team for helping my sister have her perfect day! -

Organized and thoughtful!
Paola and her team did a the tremendous job! Michael and I got engaged in 2019 and we were going to get married in 2020. However with the pandemic—everything got postponed. It was a bride‘s nightmare! We postponed our wedding three times! However, with Paola and her team she made everything super easy and carefree. I did not have to worry about any of my contracts because she took care of all of that and ensured that everything was going to be ok. Paola stayed by our side and helped us have a beautiful wedding in 2022. She is very organized and made sure our wedding ran smoothly. I loved that I didn’t have to worry about any of my vendors during the day of my wedding, she had all their contact information and again, ensured everything was on schedule. If you are planning a wedding—big or small—take the stress out and hire Paola! -

Couldn’t ask for a better planner. Paola and team are amazing
My husband and I came across Paola and Say I do to Details on the Knot after weeks of unsuccessful venue searches and visits on our own. We liked the aesthetic of her work from her website and Instagram account, and hoped she would be able to help us plan and coordinate the wedding of our dreams. To say she delivered is an understatement.
From venue selection, to coordinating hotels, to providing suggestions and insight into photographers, videographers, entertainment, rentals, etc. Paola was knowledgeable, had everything under control and knew what to prioritize and when. My husband and I have pretty demanding jobs, so I appreciated that Paola handled vendor communication and only looped us into emails when our attention was needed. Curious, I would often read entire email chains, and was impressed with Paola’s professionalism and her communication approach.
It was clear that Paola has an amazing network of vendors that already love working with her. I was able to interact with several of them before the wedding itself, and every one of them was a pleasure to meet and chat with.
When discussing the design and vision for the wedding, Paola was very attentive and understood exactly what my husband and I were looking for. As someone who typically likes to be in control of everything and be a part of any and all decisions, I was able to feel at ease having Paola drive everything, as I knew she would act in our best interest.
Paola had asked my husband and I our top 3 priorities for our wedding, to which we responded: 1) our guests have a great time, 2) the whole event runs smoothly and 3) the event would have a “wow” factor. She hit it out of the ballpark on all 3, even when we had some unforeseen last minute changes. Never did she seem flustered or stressed.
It has been almost a week since our wedding and my husband and I are still riding that wedding high. It’s crazy to think that we almost threw out the idea of having a wedding when we were getting overwhelmed trying to plan things ourselves. We are so happy we found Paola as she and her team truly created an unforgettable event that felt true to us and that we will forever look back on with fond memories. -

Crystal Sent on 07/24/2022Destination Wedding gurus!
We got engaged a little over a year ago with not realizing the complexity of organizing our wedding. We thought we could manage everything on our own (ha, silly us) but soon realized we needed help and guidance from an experienced planner for our destination wedding. We knew we were in good hands when we contacted Paola and her team! Our wedding turned out exactly like we had hoped it would, and it was all thanks to the incredible work of Paola, Sandra, and the team at Say I Do to Details. They were on top of everything from the moment we started working with them, and it was indeed a relief to have their expertise at our disposal. From being the primary contact and creating the best style guide that communicated our vision clearly to vendors, it was clear that the team was invested in making our day very special. The deeper we got into planning our wedding in Cancun, the more questions and roadblocks we came across, but Paola helped navigate us through all the craziness. She and Sandra knew all the right questions to ask and were assertive with the resort and vendors when we needed things done. They were able to move our wedding start time to accommodate exceptional sunset wedding photos without any issues! Talk about going above and beyond. Having them there with us on our big day was a definite must as everything was beautiful and problem free. They were also a blast to hang out with during all the pre-wedding activities. Our families absolutely loved the team. The only issue we had was not finding them as soon as we got engaged! We cannot thank Say I Do to Details enough for making our destination wedding a tropical glamorous dream. Thanks to Paola and Sandra for being our wedding gurus and keeping us on track. Best team for destination weddings!! -

Kristi Sent on 11/04/2021The Perfect Day!
We hired Paola and her team at Say I Do to Details to run our big day for us, and we can't stop raving at how PERFECT the day actually was. Not a thing was forgotten, any little issue was resolved instantly, AND on top of that, Paola and her team re-purposed our arch flowers for beautiful additional decor inside the ballroom and which to me, was just above and beyond. Really couldn't have been happier with Say I Do to Details. Thanks for everything!! -

Say I Do to Details was a great wedding coordinator - professional, experienced, and great with decor. As our day-of coordinators, Paola and Sandra were “yes people” - it didn’t feel like they were drawing lines in the sand of what they would and wouldn’t help with (like a lot of other coordinators we interviewed.) Prior to the wedding, they helped think through all the small details and took the many last minute covid changes in stride. One thing I was really looking for in a coordinator was help with setting up my decor (I made the florals, backdrop, signs so it was a big project.) Paola and Sandra and their assistant Sierra shined in this area and staged everything perfectly. They handled problems with a calm professionalism that comes with being in the business for a while. Ie when several candles melted in the sun, they cleaned it up and moved the remaining candles in between the night's events so we’d still have candles in both areas. They also went above and beyond, like packing up our entire van at the end of the event so we were able to go off to our after party without lifting a thing, and we really appreciated that. Say I Do to Details were the perfect combination of seen yet unseen at the event. They made sure everything moved along, but left us alone to enjoy our friends/family and that led to a really stress-free and fun wedding. Given their fair pricing and everything that they provided, I would absolutely recommend them to all brides. (Photos by: Gina & Ryan Photography) -

Ilana Sent on 05/18/2020Fantastic wedding planner!
I hired Paola/Say I Do To Details for my June 2019 wedding in Pacific Palisades and she was fantastic! I live in Washington DC so it can be hard to remotely plan a wedding in LA, but with Paola's help it wasn't even a problem. Paola recommended fantastic local vendors, knew everything I could do remotely and identified essential tasks to complete while I was in town, and was incredibly helpful in all aspects leading up to my big day. Paola was direct, prepared, organized, and always responsive. I would highly recommend her for your event. -

Marian Sent on 01/21/2020Best wedding coordinator
I planned my wedding in just 2 months.
I married at Redbird and they required a day coordinator for the event. At the beginning I couldn’t understand as in my country we have a different way to plan weddings but once I talked to Paola I understood why it was so important. When you get to feel as a guest in your own wedding and realized you are 100% stress free you appreciate all the work that her and her assistant do for you. Thank you Paola for making my dream come true. We were even running out of time and she managed to extend our times with all our vendors like it was planned like that from the very beginning. I even forgot my garter and she brought a super cute one that my husband loved! Also I did my own flowers and decoration and the way she placed them at the venue was better that the vision I even had. -

Mark Sent on 10/24/2019Paola and Sandra are in your corner
Paola and Sandra are in your corner! We did an exhaustive search for planners for our wedding at Terranea and what immediately drew us to Paola was her resourcefulness and her hands-on approach. While many of the planners we interviewed had strict limits on communication or budgets, Paola was willing to work with our needs and vision for our wedding in a way that felt personal and invested in achieving all of our goals.
The vendors that she put us in contact with were, across the board, excellent, competitively priced and - most important to us - in line with the personalities we wanted surrounding us on the weekend. We ended up having Paola and her team work with us for 3 events on our wedding weekend - a Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Drinks, the Wedding itself, and a Beach Brunch the day after. The team worked hard to ensure that each event was unique and exactly what we had envisioned. Whenever we had a concern about a vendor's budget or execution, she tackled the issue head on and was never afraid to ask for what we needed. We've made new favorite restaurants, bakeries, and rental companies that we'll almost certainly use again and those were all Paola finds.
We are full of wonderful, positive memories of the entire weekend and so many of the best touches are thanks entirely to Paola, Sandra, and the rest of the team at Say I Do to Details. -

Giovanna Sent on 11/14/2018Stress-Free Dream Wedding Made Easy
I hired Paola for month-of coordination. Paola SAVED my ceremony when she found out a few weeks before the wedding that I had booked the wrong space 12 months before. I was planning a California wedding from Texas and having never been to the venue in person, I unknowingly booked the wrong spot for the ceremony (same venue, but different spots at venue for ceremonies). All that 12 months I was planning around a ceremony space I didn't have. Luckily we were able to change it to the space I initially wanted, thank goodness. Without Paola, I wouldn't have even known about this mistake, and I probably would have found out day-of, and my wedding would have been a mess. She was professional, on top of documentation and logistics and timeline. She was also a great resource to have for extra advice on planning logistics that came up in planning our wedding day - which helped me TONS. During the wedding day she always approached me calmly, which definitely took away stress, and she took care of every single detail which made the whole day easy on me so I can focus on my wedding day with my husband and family. Every detail was taken care of. Thank you Paola! -
Hannah Sent on 10/23/2017My husband and I met Paola while attending an open house night at our wedding venue. Our first impression of her was that she was friendly, organized and very professional... boy did she live up to this and then some! We hired her as our day-of coordinator since we were on a budget and planning in only four short months. She did so much more than just the day-of coordinating. We received a wealth of information from her in timelines and checklists for the entire month leading up to our big day, as well as frequent reminders via email which greatly helped in keeping me on track.
At the start of our wedding day, Paula and her assistant, Sandra did a great job of setting up our multiple signs, guest book, cake stand, dining tables, floral arrangements and many candles. They received and kept track of all wedding presents as guests arrived. In the middle of this detailed setup, she even noticed that the cake needed a finishing touch and she knew just how to fix what had been overseen. The result was stunning. Paola also had a way of allaying my worries the day of the wedding. Her updates on my timeline came at perfect intervals so I didn't feel overwhelmed but was also very aware of the schedule. This was very comforting. I was able to focus on just being a bride and soaking in each moment of the day.
Of course, having always heard of friends' wedding glitches, I wondered which hiccups would become part of my wedding story. But Paola and Sandra were so thorough, focused and organized that every aspect of the evening ran smoothly. They were great at communicating with our other vendors: the wedding officiant, DJ, cake delivery, caterers, photographer, videographer and venue manager/staff. The feedback from our guests has been incredible. Some of them have even said it was like something out of a movie, a perfectly executed production.
Needless to say, we highly recommend Paola, Sandra, and Say I Do To Details! -

Rebecca Sent on 11/18/2016Say I Do to the Details came highly recommended to my now husband and I back in April of 2014, this was recently after we had gotten engaged. We hired Paola in May of 2014 almost 2 years prior to our wedding in Temecula CA. We did not know what to expect when hiring a wedding planner but we are so glad we did! Paola has been a lifesaver and stress reliever over the past 2 years. She worked with me every step of the way. She was a sounding board for creative ideas, she helped me to refine my vision and of course Pintrest page, she helped me stay on schedule with all my planning, select the perfect vendors, come to any pre-planning meeting I asked her to attend, and was always there for me during any bridal freak out moment. She was like the perfect bridesmaid that just happened to know how to plan a wedding. Not only was she there for all my texts, emails and calls during our 2 year engagement, she was there for my husband, our crazy families and of course me throughout the entire weekend of our wedding. Our wedding was perfect in every way because of Say I Do to the Details. I did not stress once the day of because I knew Paola and her team would take care of anything needed. We also hired her service, Lady In Waiting, which was the best decision! Vicki, our Lady in Waiting was spectacular, she not only, helped us clean up our hotel room for the photographer and order food for our wedding party of over 30 people she even took care of our dog all day (picking him up from doggy daycare and dropping him back off after the wedding) she even handmade me a new “something blue” garter when I couldn’t find mine. Paola and Sandra throughout the whole day made sure all the vendors were on schedule, and doing the right thing to make our dream wedding come true! Paola even added special touches to everything surprising me with each moment throughout the whole wedding! Our wedding is a day we will remember for the rest of our lives and was truly perfect in every way and a big re -
Muhammed Sent on 08/06/2018It’s really all in the name, the details were planned and executed perfectly. From day 1, Paola and Sandra focused on what the bride wants through detailed questions and discussions. Paola was open minded and listened to our ideas, and provided good ideas to help fill in the gaps when needed. Paola, Sandra and their team were hired do help with the wedding day minus 1 month planning, plus the day of coordinating. Paola booked the last few vendors that needed to be booked, and then really impressed us on the day of! Her and Sandra were on top of every minute of the day and kept thing moving smoothly (thanks to the great timeline put together earlier). The wedding ceremony and reception where at two different locations, but that didn’t make a difference to Say I Do to the Details team. They had everything ready at the reception on time and accurately setup to the plan. It’s important to note that the wedding was a little unusual with a pre-ceremony gathering, ceremony, post-ceremony happy hour, a cocktail hour, then the reception...it was like 4 parties in one day, yet Paola and Sandra handled it with a smile and calmness. Even when the bride and groom were confused on some details, they calmly and respectful played along until the groom realized the mistake. Above all, Paola and Sandra handled the overbearing father of the bride with an amazing level of professionalism. All guests mentioned the details, details, and details...saying how it was the most unique and fun wedding they’ve ever attended...this is the type of reaction Say I Do to the Details create!

Your years of experience greatly exceeded our expectations and definitely we will recommend your services to anyone who inquires. Thanks you again for being the best decision we ever made for this event. Everything went smooth and perfect. ~JiLL & Michael~ -

Kristen Sent on 08/14/2017We were happy to have the peace of mind of having Paola, Sandra, and the Say I Do To Details team oversee all of the little details on our wedding day! Their vendor recommendations were top notch. We ended up choosing a florist and stationer based on those recommendations, and their work was AMAZING - and just as importantly, within budget! Every wedding day has its share of surprises, and ours was rain! The week leading up to our day, we had to completely change the layout and flow of our venue because we needed a last-minute tent, and Sandra and the Say I Do To Details team really helped with coordinating last minute decisions and working with our venue. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, and the execution and coordination of all of the little details by Sandra and the team really helped us make the day even more special and memorable!
